Mercedes W212 | How To Replace Engine Fuel Filter

How to change the engine fuel filter on Mercedes-Benz. This is done on my E-Class W212 Diesel engine (OM651) but the procedure is mostly the same for other models.
If you like to do it the recommend way from MB you should use a plier special made for the click clamps part-nr (171589003700) but I don't had any at home and the normal plier with a flat screwdriver worked flawlessly.
And you should also order new click clamps, they should not be reused again, and should not be replaced with any other type of connector.

My Mercedes dealership in Maryland quoted me $817.00 to do this job. Not kidding. Thank you for the wonderful video!!

[@MB212]

That’s to crazy!!! Filter only about 80$ and is quite an easy work! But I guess you have the E350? Right that’s some more work but not to crazy!

[@parmsingh9859]

Well done again, always wait for the notifications of your new videos. Attention to detail with the part numbers is amazing.

Great Video!!! Even though mine is gas engine but I still enjoyed your video.

[@BionicRusty]

Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏 Very informative.

[@williamkennedy5492]

Thats a really good video, i look forward to more videos having subscribed, The E class can be a battle at times, my rear subframe has just suffered a catastrophic failure , OUCH it needs a new subframe !

[@frankjohnston4307]

Brilliant video.. um.. the car has an open bonnet indicator (!?) Many thoughts… one of them was “does my ‘19 A250 also have one?”. Just checked and no it does not. Fascinating

[@amirkw2939]

Thanks for your video, it was very informative, doesn't it need to be aired when you change the diesel filter??

[@metralha__09]

Nice work bro ..!! Thanks for sharing

Oh yes E220 or 250 adding this vid into collection

Thanks! 220 engine on this.

Hey MB212 i habe that peskie fuel filter housing coolant leak which is quite a common problem could you maybe do a video on replacing the fuel filter housing? Or have you got any info on how to change it step by step?

[@adamscarstories]

Thanks man, great video!

[@averagedev7768]

Here we go 2nd fuel filter in a row on my car and yet srill i am reusing the clamps hehe. So far no leaks

[@LuXxKinGZz]

Thank you bud! That was really helpful mai gai

[@limgeorge7386]

good , very detailed, i like it..😁😁

[@lukecarter8733]

hi mate, are both clamps a different size?

[@balkanerror7511]

Hi! What's the serial number for hoses of that filter?

[@ManixMAR]

Super vidéo 🔥

[@fkykas]

Hey, nice tutorial. Maybe you know and will do a video about how to check/repair or tighten front windshield wiper linkage because mine is slightly loose and touches the plastic on the passenger side when it is in down position.

[@dafunk420]

u just lift the plastic cover on the wiper arm and undo the single nut

[@niyazisevindi2833]

Thanks good

[@gvidaspatupa6556]

Hi i have a e250 cdi amg my service is due and am wondering when the fuel filter is changed do I need to pump the fuel through as I owned a volvo v40 before and it had to be done as the car would not start I used break cleaner in to the turbo to kick start the car. Am wondering if thats the same for my mercedes-benz

[@samuelm714]

Thanks a bunch

[@sergeisilver509]

Thx Man, благодарю, merci !!!

[@K04L44]

On my w212 e350, unfortunately the fuel filter is not as easy as this to replace or I would have done it by now! Currently sat on shelf in the garage staring at me to do it!

[@MB212]

I got you checked the procedure and is not as straightforward as this engine. Sometimes is good with the small engine at least when it comes to service/repairs ☺️

[@jonhuynh8695]

My Fuel filter are okay...problem are the hoses is leak....what part number...

[@crazypict]

The hose clamps seem to be a bit hard to get hold of. What do you say? Can the hose clamps be refitted to the new filter? Or should you always mount new hose clamps on the filter? Is it possible to use regular hose clamps? Your videos with the part numbers shown in the video are brilliant!

[@MB212]

They are bit tricky especially when not have the right tool. Google this part-nr 171589003700 that’s the mb recommend tool for the CLICK clamp. I usually reuse the old clamps but mb recommend to replace them always and not use any other clamp types.

[@crazypict]

@@MB212 Thanks for the answer!

[@jazzonismo802]

Can i use regular hose clamps?

[@marv1490]

Hi, should you do this on a empty tank or can I do it with half a tank of diesel which is in my car right now. Thanks

[@userksnim]

Great!

[@ceto18]

Tjenare. Du verkar kunna hitta det mesta på de bilarna och motorerna. Jag behöver byta ventilkåpepakningen men dilemman är ju lufta ur bränslesystemet efteråt. Så tänkte fråga dig om du känner till nått sätt man kan göra det själv eller stämmer det som hedin bil säger att man måste ha dator till detta ? Tackar :) !!

[@mike82y]

i love it

[@paulstefan357]

About what mileage you change the filter...MB recomand after 75000 km...i heard well?????

[@husnainshah9625]

Thanks

[@MB212]

Surprisingly this was the easiest service thing I have done so far on this car. Read description for more information ⤴️

[@averagedev7768]

Put in title that its OM651 engine

[@agondokusumo-111]

Was the w212 not equipped with adblue because I didn't see it beside the diesel filling hole?

[@MB212]

This did not had the adBlue, usually 2015 and never here in Sweden. But filling is in the trunk and last about 1 year of normal driving.

[@fr4yaa533]

Is it possible to reuse the hose clamps, if you use the CLIC-R & CLIC Collar Hose Clip Pliers to remove them? I am trying later today and ordered some pliers for six pounds sterling.

[@MB212]

Yess you probably don’t have to worry I even reused these hose clamps and I did not have the right tools 🙈 But according to Mercedes manual they should be replaced that’s why I added it to the video. Probably because they not want to risk they start getting bad.

[@kuldipsingh8899]

How much is the filter

[@nikkitaylor3259]

Can do oil pan gasket 👍👍😀

[@cpradeepsify]

Thank you for the great video. Is it possible to use the same size hose clips or do they have to be two different sizes? When I called Mercedes they said I can use 2 x A0069971890, is this right?

[@MB212]

For this engine it should be different size. Do you have same type of engine?

[@ZakiGarage]

Wish my M272 engine had a similar easy changeable filter. Its part of the fuel pump and has to be changed as a whole assembly 😢

[@MB212]

Sounds like good amount of work 😳 But how often is change needed for that engine?

[@ZakiGarage]

@@MB212 I don't have my car's service schedule unfortunately so I'm not sure. Resources online say to change it every 90k km but from what I understood from the dealership to change it when the fuel pump fails since they don't sell the filter separately, the filter comes in one unit with the fuel pump and its 💰💰💰.

[@BMWI-gk9wh]

Even better and more simple. Under the seat

[@pikley8061]

Well that was fast

[@MB212]

It was almost that fast as in the video ☺️ This was way easier then expected. I try figure out the best length for the videos because when checking stats this short videos doing the best. But not really happy with this one was little to fast now when I checking back.

[@carstensvendsen1425]

@@MB212 Thanks for the video - almost as fast as the change itself. The system fills automatically the fuel filter with ignition on. SOOOO EASY to do :)

[@PhantomOfTheArcticOcean]

Can air get into the fuel system after the change? If so, how can I bleed it? I have an E350 CDI C207.

[@MB212]

Yess it can, you bleed it with the ignition on for a few seconds before Start. No manual bleeding need to be done as with older cars.

[@mygoalcrash8077]

@@MB212 how offten change filter?

[@MB212]

Change it at 4 years interval.

[@abuyousef8980]

This filter for diesel engine I think not for gasoline.

[@TopG80]

Where's the damn egr. Lol

[@launchbenz2242]

This procedure isn't 100% correct. Before connecting the smaller fuel line,you should fill the filter with diesel using a vaccum pump. That will reduce the amount of air left into the fuel system. Too much air can cause damage to high pressure fuel pump. Shaving metals from pump will damage the injectors. High pressure fuel pump shouldn't run dry at all.

[@MB212]

The filter is automatically filled when you use the ignition, and also the air is pumped out! This is done according to mb documents. I guess you refer to older cars.

[@Jamie-Evo]

This engine sounds like a bag of spanners
